Last time on Part I of this post, we saw the works of different mangakas take on Dragon Ball. For fun, I thought that I would showcase the original work of the mangakas alongside with their Dragon Ball tribute images.
I will show the Dragon Ball tribute piece of each mangaka first followed by their own original work.

me like Goku’s expression done by both Eiichiro Edo and Masashi Kishimoto.
…. and Bulma seems to be really.. expressed.. hehe!
I like Masashi Kishimoto’s artwork the best. It’s the closest to Toriyama’s work.
Wow. I never knew so many manga-ka’s did tributes to DBZ. But then again it did sort of pave the way. I mean, how many anime fans, or even how many people in general haven’t heard of Dragon Ball?
lol, arina-chi’s style will never change.
she’ll always draw huge eyes, flowers and keep her drawings shojo. lol, i didnt recognise goku at first, i thought it was mitsuki from full moon wo sagashite (the picture underneath is from the manga).
but i love her art.
why do you paint goku with that girl’s expression? he isn’t a girl!!!ok, for other picture you are ok.
